Databeacon 5.0 with the Cube Injection System should be available by late June 2000. The Cube Injection System includes a JNI library containing the databeacon 5.0 cube builder as well as documentation and examples. http://www.databeacon.com/cis/ VisiComp 1.2 enlightens Java development processVisiComp Inc. has enhanced its VisiComp 1.2 Java software visualization tool with the addition of a throttle control that allows developers to control the speed at which a program runs. VisiComp 1.2 provides developers with a dynamic visualization tool that allows them to see what an application does internally during runtime, which can be particularly helpful for developers who are maintaining and enhancing inherited code. VisiComp 1.2 displays program objects visually as drawn boxes, and relationships among them are established with connecting arrows. The software continues to update the rendering process as the application runs. VisiComp 1.2's visualization capabilities help developers find possible memory leaks, locate potential bugs, verify proper functionality, and test a program's integrity. VisiComp 1.2 is priced at $495 per copy. http://www.visicomp.com/product/ Codagen updates Gen-it for JavaCodagen Technologies Corp. has released Gen-it for Java version 1.2, a Java code generator that helps developers automatically generate operations containing redundant code. Version 1.2 includes a new Class Model view that displays the static model as seen by the modeling tool before and after code generation. Other new features include a log tool that contains more trace information, an And/Or format that renders conditions and filters more easily, and more context variables that allow developers to refine templates more precisely. Gen-it 1.2 also allows developers to import templates for a specific project and monitors dependencies between templates to ensure integrity throughout the development process.

The first release will be compatible with BEA Systems Inc. Weblogic and IBM Corp. WebSphere application servers. http://www.netegrity.com/products/add_features.html Synchrony simplifies customer communication managementSynchrony Communications Inc. has introduced Synchrony 2.0, an improved version of its customer relationship management (CRM) software suite. Version 2.0 integrates a customer's fax, phone, and Internet information onto a single screen of an agent's PC. It also contains only EJB components, and it is fully compatible with the J2EE platform. The application's thin-client desktop edition allows users to create new agents via standard Web browsers. The server side is based on EJB components that allow users to create and deploy electronic CRM solutions with a single view of the customer and universal queuing of customer interactions. http://www.synchrony.net/how/product.asp Ajile Systems executes Java in siliconAJile Systems demonstrated its Real-Time Specification for Java (RTSJ) embedded-system design solutions at JavaOne 2000. The company's board and microprocessor designs were used as a platform to showcase aJile's single-chip microcontrollers, which are the first hardware offerings to execute native Java bytecode in silicon. By performing Java bytecode in silicon, extremely small Java applications operate more efficiently. The embedded Java processors will be packaged with software to simplify the development and debugging of embedded Java applications.

AJile's Java technology can also:

- Execute Java bytecodes as native instructions, which eliminates translation software layers while decreasing memory footprint and power requirements - Implement realtime Java threading primitives and data structures - Support multiple JVMs - Optimize linker/application builder - Support custom instructions, which are defined as extended bytecodes that are loaded into the control store RAM and implemented as Java methods http://www.ajile.com/ Entegrity secures EJB applicationsEntegrity Solutions Corp. is now shipping its Entegrity NetCrusader/EJB access management software for BEA Systems WebLogic Server (WLS), the Inprise/Borland Application Server (IAS), and other Java and EJB platforms. A NetCrusader/EJB Custom Realm Object provides BEA Systems WebLogic Server applications with an external authentication system that does not require changing any application code. Entegrity NetCrusader/EJB also helps organizations secure EJB-based applications by outlining and implementing access procedures. Administrators can centrally manage groups, users, security roles, and permissions via an administrative interface that defines and implements policies. By allowing developers to change permissions on the fly without closing an application, the software also simplifies maintenance. http://www.entegrity.com/e-products/access_mgmt/access_mgmt_overview.html Emwerks unveils JVM for Palm platform Emwerks Inc. has introduced Kada, a clean-room JVM, that supports Java-compatible wireless applications on the Palm computing platform. Kada Internet-enables small devices, including handhelds and cellular phones. The platform relies on Emwerks technology to execute JVM and JDK specifications in a small footprint, while maintaining the complete Java capabilities of larger JVMs. Kada supports object streaming and AWT. Any Java-compatible application can operate on Kada. It also provides developers with class libraries and development tools for creating embedded and realtime Java applications.

PointBase plans to use the Kada JVM to demonstrate its Java-based SQL database operating on the Palm Inc.'s V and IIIxe. http://www.emwerks.com/overview.html About the author Julie Salzmann is a freelance writer based in Silicon Valley.
